The author of God's pencil has been writing poems, stories and songs since she was a child. She found that her writing gift shouldn't be hidden, so she decided to finally try to get some of her writing published. Although God's pencil is not the first thing she has had published, it is her first book. Her work in broadcasting as a copywriter propelled her into continually writing, which she has loved to do. She has a large assortment of children's and other stories, essays and more writings that don't seem to have a category. She has written the words and music to a musical with a long title and has had some of songs played on the air. She is currently attempting to finish another book that has been in the works for some time. Her favorite thing to do is sit in front of a blank screen and see what she can think of, to fill it with words. A graduate of Mount Mercy Academy, she never had the opportunity to go to college, but took many courses and has read many, many books to hone her writing abilities.
